Grassroots Harm Reduction/Mutual Aid
We serve vulnerable populations in Portland OR, providing safer use supplies and information, as well as naloxone/resources
@DKohfeld@KATUNews Awesome! Let trans kids be affirmed and see a therapist and be called the right name and wear what they want, so they can just be kids and not worry about crippling dysphoria and hateful bigoted adults and their deadly laws!
Thank you for this! It's one of the biggest fear-mongering myths we confront in our community on an almost constant basis and having this video to show people is super helpful 💜💜💜
This is me touching heroin cut with acetyl fentanyl and carfentanil. I was not happy with the video capture of the fentanyl test so I blew up a screen shot showing one line which confirms there was fentanyl. I’ll tweet that picture next.
Yall come see us and some other amazing orgs at this event tomorrow! Come by and get snacks and resources while enjoying local performers- or hop on the stage list yourself!
We’ll be here tomorrow with mending kits! We’ll also be happy to take anything that needs mending, either to mend it and get it back to you or mend and donate out to the community.
@PdxDUU I don't have scientific into but folks on our distro route really liked them when we had them! A lot of people preferred them over cottons, though folks with dexterity issues still liked that cottons allowed them to insert the needle at whatever angle they could get best.
Thanks to a very generous and kind comrade Sweaty Buttcrack Collective now has an established Twitter account 🎉 Sad news is due to increased sweeps and early freezing weather we need to use it to ask for money 😅💸 Donations and reshares are all super helpful! 💕
Remember you can also reach out to request trainings or other info anytime, username on Twitter insta and Facebook are all the same, text and signal are 971 266 1414
We had a really great experience training some local teens when they reached out to us and even tho our trainings aren't perfect (who's are?) we are constantly improving and want to keep supporting our community in keeping their peers and loved ones safer!
@stealth883@Gasmaskonastick@PortlandPolice someone should tell the several cops with artillery out in public making threats to shoot two unconscious men in their vehicle and risk casualty to other civilians and employees of nearby businesses.
@stealth883@Gasmaskonastick@PortlandPolice And those individuals were dangerous because they were asleep in a parked car? Or because they had firearms? I didn't know being in possession of a firearm made you immediately dangerous to the public,
@jeffrey_kuck@KATUNews It means OHP patients with certain high risk conditions can get a cheap air conditioner for when the heat skyrockets, or space heaters for when the freezes get lower and lower. It also means flex funds (rare) can be used for home repairs to survive worsening climate conditions
Hey y'all please share and/or donate to help our founding member keep up his harm reduction work in the community by buying back his knees! This is super important and time sensitive and has become a major priority for us to keep doing what we do!

I've always been gobsmacked by the persistence of prohibitionists & abstinence-based treatment zealots of insisting that drugs are always bad.
I mean...have you tried drugs?
There are reasons folks use them & it isn't a deep-seated urge to ruin their lives.
